Homeland Security - or lack thereof

[Godless Dave]

It's been over three years since the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 (and 11 years since the first Al Qaeda terror attack on US soil in 1993). Shrubya claims he and his administration are doing what it takes to reform the agencies responsible for national, I mean vaterland, I mean homeland security. Has he really? Has anything changed at all?

This week's Minneapolis City Pages (a Village Voice property) ran a group of articles about FBI whistleblowers that reveal how little has changed in the FBI, the main law enforcement agency responsible for investigating terrorist activity on US soil.

And then there's the CIA:

But we're all safer because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power :rolleye1: .

I would like to know who in the elected government, if anyone, is aiming to solve these problems. They seem credible and serious.
